During a night trip upon the Yangtze River, exploring its banks from a distance, the film contemplates the cryobot’s lonely odyssey through the ice of the Vostok Lake.
Ruminating on the mystery and power of water, Julien Loustau’s otherworldly short lends a ghostliness to the existence of Chinese dams, cryobots, and an impenetrable lake locked under the ice of the Antarctic. Recurring images of dark, nocturnal currents draw out our most primal fears and curiosity.
